I'm not sure how an easily reversed registry-edit would by sufficient if sandpapering the lens isn't. :)

Physically removing the camera isn't that hard to do, there is an instruction on how to disassemble the phone here with pictures:

http://www.modaco.com/content/strtr...sembling-htc-strtrk-8500-s300-f600-smartflip/

Taking the camera out really shouldn't be too tricky, here is picture of it:

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=19448

You could probably also just put a little bit of tape over the camera and then close the phone back up, which would be the least destructive way of disabling the camera with it being sufficiently hard to re-enable for a reasonable employer.

[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
you can try downloading pixel fixer v2.0.0 by thomas hopper. Just search for pixel in the marketplace on your phone, it should be the first result that comes up.

Hello,

My city is not listed under "add city" in the weather lab. I live in a major city with a popluation of 200K+. Smaller cities are included but not mine... Is there a way to add my city?

Thank you

[SOLVED]

here's is quick method; I would like to first thank everyone for their contributions:

First download .NET Compact Framework 3.5 Redistributable

What is your City?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] iamcanadian:
Windsor, ON; Canada
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
I have no idea why. I think mebe because it's just so close to Detroit. Just use detroit. The closest city to Windsor on the list is London.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] eurofan:
I guess it should be the same as for Diamond 1.

Here is the application for TD 1:

Weather Database Editor on Diamond

I have written a small application, that allows you to add, edit and delete Cities (for a given country) in Diamonds weather database.

At first you have to remove the write protection of database file (\Windows\2330fc3c_manila) by Resco Explorer and replace original manila.exe by patched version .

http://rapidshare.com/files/127920411/manila.zip.html

Then you can create new entries for your country (accu weather code can be taken from accu weather url of your city). New Cities will be append at the end of the list.

The solution was tested on ROM HTC_Europe_1.37.401.3.

I hope, the solution will also work for you.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] iamcanadian:
Sorry, little lost, I can't find 2330fc_manila under the Windows Directory. Secondly, what do I do with the manila file you've uploaded? Do I merely replace it with 2330fc_manila? So, do I delete 2330fc_manila and copy manila you provided?

I tried running WeatherDatabaseEditor, however, I got the following error:

File Write Protection of database couldn't be removed

thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] swissman:
Don't replace Manila.exe with this one. It will crash your TF3... Seems like we need another patched one
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ome jopie:
anyone got a better one? tf3d doesn't work with this one, thats for sure. :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Anfield800:
I've tried various things to add different cities, it seems that the weather list can be altered but touch flo somehow interferes with it and resets the list. Or at least, adds the default cities again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Kinto:
I downloaded weather DB 1.1, 1.1 meins, 1.2 and .net framework.

I even forced, via registry, to use .net framework 3.5 over 2.0

I tryed to deactivate tf3d and install weather DB, adding my city, power off and then on (is this the way to soft reset?) my D2.

But EVERY time i push on Weather tab in tf3d,the tf3d reboot itself...i have to uninstall weather db to use tf3d again.

Do we need to wait for a new version of weather DB or what?

thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] englefield:
It would seem so.

Stupid to miss off so many big locations though. I mean Ibiza isnt even on there, come on ffs!!! :)

ten
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] NLCJ:
Is there any update about this, since I also need more locations...hIf anyone finds something that works, let us know!

P.S. I am typing this from the Touch Diamond2!!! ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] swissman:
I've been able to add my city, modify the db and it works fine.

here are the steps:

1. Install Database Weather editor

2. Shut down TF3D (settings, more, personal tab, today, elements tab and untick TouchFlo 3D)

3. With Totalcommander copy from \windows the file 2330fc3c_manila to your SD card

4. on your SD card, 2330fc3c_manila needs to be modified with properties, untick read only

5. copy 2330fc3c_manila from your sd card to \windows and overwrite the existing one.

6. run the Database Weather Editor and edit/add your cities

7. Restart TF3D the same way as on point 2, but tick Touchflow 3D

I just need to know exactly how to work with city codes as it shows me an error (unable to update your cities). can someone help on this with an example?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Wired&Connected:
swissman - I obtained the data for the cities I wanted to add by going here;

Accuweather entering the city, & country, e.g. Ibiza, Spain and searching. Once you get to the weather page the data you need for the weather db is in the URL - e.g. locCode=EUR|ES|SP004|IBIZA|

Is this what you were asking?

I used a much more complicated method to add mine (Visual Studio & SQL Lite....) as I kept having write protect issues and other problems with the TD1 method from here.

Your method looks easier, so I'll try that if I ever need to add any more. I've kept a copy of the file, so in the event of a hard reset, or rom upgrade, I don't have to go through this all again...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] swissman:
The thing is that if I had for example Novigrad, which is the place I'm going to this summer, in Croatia. The end of the URL is: EUR|HR|HR000|NOVIGRAD

I modify the db with these settings (taking an existing city and editing, too lazy to type :-)and I'm getting an error message when I try to update the weather: error during download of weather datas, would you like to retry?

I've tried even with creating a new city but still doesn't work... any idea?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Kinto:
Thanks, but it always restart tf3d when i try to go to the meteo (or calendar) tab in tf3d.

Opening 2330fc3c_manila with Resco Explorer, it says that that file is already NOT read-only so i have no need to modify it.

But after you install weatherdb, do u restart asap (with tf3d on) or before restarting you deactivate tf3d? (I did in this way)

And after you add a city, do you restart the topaz with tf3d on or off?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] swissman:
Well I'm doing it exactly step by step as written on my previous msg. You can install the weather db normally with TF3D on, then you turn TF3D off, go take the manilla file, copy it to your SD card, change the read/write permission on your file on the SD card, copy/paste to \windows and overwrite the existing one. Then you can turn ON back TF3D and make all the changes to your weather db without any problems. Or you can try to modify the weather db with TouchFlow off and once you are done with everything, just turn on TF3D.

Have you tried to make a soft reset to fix your TF3D issues?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Kinto:
Yes of course i triedto soft reset, but tf3d restarts itself everytime i try to enter in the calendar or meteo tab.

But do u have touch diamond2 or HD or another htc phone?

However my manilla file in the windows dir has the "read only" permission already unticked.

Do i have to delete the 2 manilla file (the one called 2330 and the 1 called _2330) before installing weather db 1.1 meins? (1.1 and 1.2 give me an error prtection code when installing)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ome jopie:
1. Install .NET CF 3.5;

2. Install http://www.computerfreakz.net/WeatherDatabaseEditor 1.2.CAB

3. turn TF3D off.

4. run WeatherDatabaseEditor 1.2

5. add the city off your choise.

6.restart TF3D

7. select your addition to the weather tab.

TADAAAAA. magic. (tested on Diamond2)

thanks to sn0x0r (GoT)

when you get an error remove the read only from 2330fc3c_manila

There is an issue however, when you select the new location on the clock the timezone is not correct. Anyone who has a solution for that, please let us know.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Kinto:
Can u link to _2330fc3c_manila file? It seems i don't have it anymore..

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Kinto:
IT WORKS!

I had to remove the read-only parameter in that 2330* file

Thanks alot to you all
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] swissman:
I found the solution.. thanks ome jopie.

I used the weather database editor vers. 1.1 and it didn't work. Since I downloaded the version 1.2 everything's working fine!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tiwas2:
Worked great, but since this file is in ROM (?) I had to first copy it to some other location, and then copy it back before I got the db editor working.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Wired&Connected:
Before knowing about this method, I added my cities by opening the SQLLite db (which is the manila file) in Visual Studio. When you do that there is a TimeZone field. Correctly populating this by using the value from an existing location (which is in the same zone) means the World Clock also shows the right time. I can provide more details on how to do this if anyone is interested.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Erwinn:
When I start weather database I get the error: "File Write protection of database could't removed" I allready tried to edit the 2330etc file, but after deselecting "Read Only" i cannot replace or delete the original file (according to windows explorer no permission)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] iamcanadian:
Thank you very much.... It worked!!!

I'll see if I can update the first post so everyone can see how its done!

P.S. MOD: is there a way to change the title of the topic to:

Just so ppl can know

P.S.S. I've also changed the first post to indicate the "how to"
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] db_darryl:
hi, when I try to add Ibiza following the steps you have listed. After I add the city i get the message

'there was a connection error while attempting to download weather data. Retry?'

Anyone else have this problem or is there some step i am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] db_darryl:
Actually ignore my last message. I must have being using an older version of weather database editor. just over installed version 1.2 and Ibiza weather was staring me in the face.

Thanks for all the work that went into the post to get it working.

:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Kinto:
There is a BETTER way to add a city, without the incorrect time reported:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3837466&postcount=2

But i found we do NOT need weatherdatabase...we just have to remove the "read only" attribute in that file and AFTER we added the city, tick that read only and copy, overwriting, the existing file in the windows directory.

If it says it cannot be copied over, remove for a moment tf3d.

In this way you can add the city of your choice with the correct world time (obviosuly using sqlite overwrite a city who has the same time of the city if want to add)

2330fc3c_manila

Hi,

I must have destroyed my 2330fc3c_manila file while trying to add custom cities. When I try to open the weather tab TF3d restarts. Uninstalling Weather database or restarting does not help.

Can someone please uplead the 2330fc3c_manila file or provide a link?

I really don´t want to hard reset...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ome jopie:
the calendar shows the weather of the city that's currently active in the clock. so in order to get the right forecast you must add your city in the clock. (i also moved it to the top of the list in case the TF3D, for some reason whatsoever, resets the zone)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] arlievsky:
I removed all default entries from weather list, added my own.

It works, but Today view in Calendar still displays me Singapore weather.

Someone knows how to get rid of it ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ome jopie:
don't remove them from the weather-list, but go to the today screen, tab the clock and add the city of your choice. make it the top city and make it active.

that should do the trick.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] sillycrap101:
Mine has stopped working.

I did the procedure in the first post and it worked for several days. Yesterday I uninstalled the weather database editor and the weather stopped downloading. I added the editor back but the weather is broken.

Cities are still there and the accuweather codes are correct. If I remove the city and readd it the weather comes back from what it was the last time it worked.

Any ideas how I can clear this cache (without a hard reset)?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] eatmyshorts:
It would be pleasant, if someone could up this file. It seems that I've crushed mine. Evereytime I tick on the country selection, TF3D restarts.

I think that I have tested all different ways to add a city to the weather tab.... that was too much for it ;)

I don't want to hardreset the device, this is my last try with the original file. When this doesn't work, i will hardreset or wait for HSPL and the udk rom :D

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] gyedema:
I found a similar strange issue. I live in the Netherlands, in Leeuwarden. The accuweathercode is

EUR|NL|NL003|LEEUWARDEN.

So, I added the city as described in the first post. However: after I added the city, I noticed that it had a complete different timezone then all the other Dutch cities, like Amsterdam. If I select the clock on the home screen, and add Leeuwarden, it displayes:

Local time: GMT+1 Prague (although I set it to GMT+1, Amsterdam, in settings) 15:51

Leeuwarden: 01:51

So, looks like its placed in a timezone like GMT-12....

Pls help!!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] smuppy:
Hi,

after spending some time reading the posts here I first tried with the Weather database editor (1.2), the newly added cities show up correctly, but wont get updated, I get an error each time I try.

I then tested the other solution provided, using SQL Admin, and edited the databasefile directly on the PC and then copied it back to the device, same error occurs.

I have tried a soft reset after adding a city, so thats not the issue...

The codes I have used are:

EUR|SE|SW017|EDA

EUR|SE|SW017|SKOGHALL

Anyone have any idea at all on what might cause this?

My default city, Karlstad, gets updated when I update the weather, just not the new locations.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] salvy.c.83:
I've simply:

• Add this key:

• edit 2330fc3c_manila file using SQL Admin, add my small city

• soft rest and works very very fine!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Superman_1122:
What software did you use to add that key, and I tried to use an SQL admin program but it loaded a .html and asked for a user/pass/server to connect to, not a 'load file' like I was expecting!?

Any help please?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] salvy.c.83:
I use THIS software for regedit

I've no problem whit SQL admin i've simply edit the original manila file and overvrite it (if you need you can use total commander)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Something72:
Thanks for the information!

It works on my Diamond2 (using Total Commander and Weather Database 1.2, because version 1.1 doesn't works on my D2)

:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Johan Kraczmar:
Works very well also on last Dutty's R14 ROM

Thanks a lot!!!!

For everybody who don't understant how to do it then:

1. copy the file "2330fc3c_manila" from your Windows phone directory to somewhere to your computer

2. download and run SQLite Administrator - http://sqliteadmin.orbmu2k.de/

3. open this file in database editor (using filter all files instead of sql database)

4. on the left side of database editor click on "cities" then ID and in right window click on tab edit data.(then you will see all cities in database)

5. go to last position in this database (watch the number of row) and click on +(insert)

6. in this time you can go on http://www.accuweather.com/world-index.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0 and find your city on this page

7. in the addres bar you will see something like this "http://www.accuweather.com/world-index-forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0&loccode=EUR|CZ|EZ004|HRANICE"

8. this is for you necessary "EUR|CZ|EZ004|HRANICE"

9. now you can put this informations to database (compare timezone and msid with another city close to your)

10. save this by click on "Post" and close editor

11. close TF3D in hometab

12. • Add this key to registry :[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]

"Weather.ServerURLOverride"="http://weather.not2advanced.com/htcweather/forecastdata.php?ac=XDADevs&locCode=%25ls&version= 1&device=innovation"

13. Copy modified file "2330fc3c_manila" back to windows directory (using totalcommander otherwise you will be not able to overwrite)

14. soft restart

15. start TF3D

16. go to weather - add location and find your city.

17. add

I've mentioned this app before, but after searching the blackstone forum it doesnt seem to have its own thread.

http://recite.microsoft.com/Pages/index.aspx is the website.

Its a dictaphone but rather than having to give your recordings names you can simply speak what you're looking for. (ie, press record, say "daves new number is 123456" when you want to remember what daves new number is, press search and speak the words "daves new number" -it will find the recording with those words.

Unfortunately not a touch screen app, but it does still work on the blackstone.

If this, along with voice commander, live search and the language translator which is supposed to be coming to the marketplace, are any indication of where MS are going with WM. We're in for a very interesting ride I'd say :)
